Cofinanced by the ASEAN Infrastructure Fund, the Asia–Pacific Climate Finance Fund, the Green Climate Fund, and the United Kingdom through the ASEAN Catalytic Green Finance Facility, the program aims to provide comprehensive support for the country's clean energy transition by.
It incorporates a 125kW photovoltaic inverter and a newly added energy storage system, enabling dual functionality: 'self-generation for self-consumption with surplus feed-in to the grid' and 'off-grid backup power'.
BNP is a private commercial company which started trading in 2012. We operate as a full-service renewable energy provider and provide commercially-viable energy services for remote areas in Cambodia where the electricity grid doesn't yet reach.
The project will consist of a 1. 25MWp ground-mounted Solar PV plant and a 2MWh battery energy storage system integrated with diesel generators and a smart controller, making it one of Southeast Asia's largest off-grid renewable energy microgrids.
In 2023, the United Nations Development Programme joined the government of Cambodia to deploy solar energy microgrids in these remote villages, connecting them to a small solar farm that charges batteries used to power appliances, computers, and other essential devices.
